Bob’s Burgers on FOX provided us with the most relevant road trip of all time when two personality types conflict, such as the friendship between Bob and Teddy. This episode featured a wonderful balance between the two storylines being told, which resulted in a lot of fantastic moments to watch. While Linda tries to inspire the youngsters to be more efficient at a crowded restaurant by turning it into a game, Bob and Teddy ride together to buy a sink for the kitchen and bring a spooky huge ventriloquist head to a mini-golf course.

The main focus was on Bob and Teddy’s business ventures, which turned into a sequence of multiple stops and lengthy discussions. Bob was a sad character, and I could identify to him at times. Bob, unlike Teddy, is not a huge social person and, like others like him, is likely to become mentally fatigued after being too social for too long. This episode included a look at Teddy and Bob’s bond.

What I liked about this episode was how readily I could empathize to Bob, and how, by the end, I could see the beauty and delight in Teddy’s interactions with others. We often associate unusual people with supposed loneliness or natural misfits, but this event shown that this isn’t always the case. What distinguishes Teddy, Bob, Linda, and others is their approach to people and how this, in turn, produces and sustains the good in the world. While I enjoyed watching Linda and the kids interact while Bob was away, it was wonderful to see Teddy in a setting that was completely unique to him and him alone. Teddy babysat the kids while Linda and Bob went to a burger convention, and it reminds me of that episode. Teddy is a wacky guy, but he’s also wonderfully nice and talkative, which improves his character in his own way. This would not function or make sense for Bob if forced upon him. This episode of Bob’s Burgers offered a fantastic look at how individuals may grow as a result of contrasting personalities and events.
